United States v. Valdez-Ramirez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Valdez-Ramirez, 210 F. App'x 597 (9th Cir. 2006)

United States v. Valdez-Ramirez

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Lauro Alfonso Valdez-Ramirez appeals the 41-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to being found in the United States after illegal re-entry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Valdez-Ramirez contends that the district court violated his constitutional rights *598by imposing a sentence in excess of the two-year maximum set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) based on a prior conviction that was neither proved to a jury nor admitted during the plea colloquy. Valdez-Ramirez concedes, and we agree, that this contention is foreclosed. See United States v. Beng-Salazar, 452 F.3d 1088, 1091 (9th Cir. 2006).

AFFIRMED.
